Story By: TYLER ALTMEYER / CJB MOTORSPORTS – CARLISLE, PA – Although the weekend was ultimately cut in half due to Mother Nature’s inability to cooperate on Friday at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa, the show went on as scheduled Saturday evening at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wisconsin, welcoming the Greatest Show On Dirt for the Larry Hillerud Memorial Badger 40.
The Badger State visit, the last of the year for the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series, would see Spencer Bayston and CJB Motorsports continue their consistent streak, capping the evening with a ninth-place score after starting eighth on the A-Main grid.
Bayston’s top-ten at Wilmot bumped his season total to 25, now three-for-three in his last three Wisconsin starts stretching back to Cedar Lake Speedway’s Independence Day Spectacular that concluded with the Lebanon, Indiana, native finishing fifth and second.
“I wish we could have raced both days, but we certainly made the most of our weekend on Saturday. We had some great speed early on, but as the night progressed, the track got more and more technical and some of our speed fell off,” Bayston, ace of the TrueTimber Camo, Rothco, JRC Transportation, Nyce Crete and Landis, Ecynbro Trucking, C&S Lawn and Landscape, Kistler Engines, Highlands’ Power Sports, High Performance Lubricants, No. 5 sprint car, expressed. “Overall, I’m pleased with our performance. We’ve been really good these last few weeks and we’re all chomping at the bit to get this CJB Motorsports No. 5 at the top of the podium. No better time than right now, that’s for sure.”
Spencer Bayston and CJB Motorsports will continue their 2023 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series campaign with the biggest week in sprint car racing, set to invade Attica Raceway Park in Attica, Ohio, for the annual Brad Doty Classic on Tuesday, July 11, followed by four straight days at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, on Wednesday through Saturday, July 12-15. In consecutive fashion, Eldora will host the Eldora Million preliminary on Wednesday, the $1,002,023-to-win Eldora Million on Thursday, the Knight Before the Kings Royal on Friday, and the $175,000-to-win 40th Kings Royals on Saturday.
